We are thrilled to introduce you to Rolf Beeler's line of extraordinary Swiss cheese. Rolf is rapidly achieving legendary status in the cheese world. Many even call him the Cheese Pope. Experience the uncompromising dedication to excellence from one of the greatest cheesemakers alive.

Hoch Ybrig is made in the tradition of Gruyere, but washed with white wine. Also unlike Gruyere, Hoch Ybrig is made in a much smaller, 16 lb wheel (compared to the 80 lb giants of Gruyere). This is a hearty, unpasteurized cow's milk cheese with a hint of sweetness at the end. If you love raw-milk cheeses and consider yourself a connoisseur, this cheese is a must-try. Each wheel is aged for 6-8 months, allowing the aromatic rind to develop and the straw-colored interior to develop real character. A true crowd pleaser.

I shredded this cheese along with a traditional gruyere and white cheddar to make a lobster macaroni and cheese. It was just delicious and added a tangy sweetness to the dish.

Very disappointed

I was looking forward to tasting this cheese. I have been buying this cheese in Zabar's and Fairway in NYC. They were always fantastic. Compared to them your cheese did not have much flavor, though texture was the same.
